Work to upgrade the access road to Exeter International Airport is due to start on Tuesday 26 August.
The £1.4 million scheme will increase the width of the B3184, improving the link from the A30 to Exeter Airport and the nearby Exeter Airport Business Park.

It will also support growth of the airport and would enable the road to cope with any increase in vehicles.
